Ather EL Platform – Foundation for Next-Gen Scooters
Ather Energy has taken a big leap in India’s EV market with the launch of its next-generation EL platform at the third edition of Ather Community Day 2025. This is Ather’s first all-new vehicle architecture since the launch of the 450 series and has been designed for scalability, versatility, and cost efficiency.
The platform has been developed using insights from over 26 lakh km of real-world riding data. With a brand-new chassis, powertrain, and electronics package, the EL platform simplifies production and after-sales experience. According to Ather, manufacturing will now be 15% faster, while periodic services can be completed 2x quicker. Service intervals have also been extended to 10,000 km, making ownership much more convenient.
